It was a warm one yesterday, upper 80's over most of the region. Today we will still be warm, however a tad cooler under easterly flow in the low-levels for low to middle 80's this afternoon. Shown below is the mid-level pattern. A trough axis is slated to move through the region late this afternoon and evening from the west …

Today will be a day of transition between the drier last few days and a wetter pattern headed our way tomorrow into the weekend. The GOES-East water vapor animation below shows a series of disturbances present across the northern Rockies, as well as a deep low pressure and associated trough over the Great Lakes. The first and weakest disturbance will …

Cooler today... The main cold front moved through last evening (did you smell the manure?) and thus today's temperatures will be slightly cooler than yesterday...with a strong emphasis on slightly. As you can see in the 500 mb height and vorticity forecast map below, a deep trough has developed across the Midwest. The chillest of the cooler airmass is only grazing …

Another pleasant day is headed our way for Tuesday with a crisp morning leaning towards a mostly sunny and mild afternoon. A strong dome of high pressure has built up across the Pacific Northwest, with northwest flow pushing downstream into Colorado. At the same time, a weak (but deepening) trough remains across the northern Plains this morning. Embedded in the …

You probably noticed the chilly air this morning. I had my windows open overnight and it got down to 62 inside my apartment with the mid to upper 40's outside. That made my heat go on haha. But this is all thanks to a decent cold front for mid-June. The cooler air is evident below with 4 to 6 degrees …

A decent early summer cold front will be passing through the region from the north and east by early evening, between 4 and 6 PM. This is shown below in the 800 mb temperature, height, and wind plots for the western U.S. Easterly winds …

The pattern on this Friday is shown below. A deep trough is centrally located in the Pacific Northwest. Southwest flow ensues across much of our state in the mid-levels. Some ripples of energy will be tracking through the region this afternoon through early evening, making for another round of scattered thunderstorms in the Denver Metro area. We will start out …
